Fodder: (🤖 11m) simile of Mara as deer hunter trapping with 5kg:
‘When these deer intrude on where I cast the bait, they’ll recklessly
enjoy eating it. They’ll become indulgent, then they’ll become
negligent, and then they’ll be vulnerable on account of this bait.’
And indeed, the first herd of deer intruded on where the trapper cast
the bait and recklessly enjoyed eating it. They became indulgent, then
they became negligent, and then they were vulnerable to the trapper on
account of that bait.
